Broker Summary
What Wikilix has recorded about VT Markets: its history, the licences it holds, its trading conditions and its fees.
VT Markets Broker Overview
VT Markets is a global CFD broker brand, and clients of its global website contract with VT Markets Limited, a Mauritius company that the broker says is licensed by the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius. It offers MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, its own VT Markets App and a browser-based Web Trading platform, with Standard STP and Raw ECN accounts from 100 USD and leverage of up to 500:1 on its account pages. The brand does not accept residents of the United States, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, India, Russia and a number of other countries.
VT Markets Regulation and License
VT Markets describes itself as a global brand made up of several companies, each authorised or registered in its own jurisdiction. The regulatory information on its website names four:
VT Markets Limited, Mauritius: a Full-Service Investment Dealer (excluding Underwriting) authorised by the FSC of Mauritius under licence GB23202269, with its registered address at 40 Silicon Avenue, The Catalyst, Ebene. The broker gives its company number as 201902 GBC, and its client agreement names it as the client's counterparty and product supplier.
VT Markets (Pty) Ltd, South Africa (company number 2015/072049/07): an authorised Financial Services Provider, FSP No. 50865, regulated by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA). The broker says it acts only as an intermediary under the FAIS Act between the client and VT Markets Limited and is not the market maker or product issuer.
The Dubai Branch of VT Markets (Pty) Ltd: licensed by the UAE Capital Markets Authority (CMA) under licence No. 20200000299 as a Category 5 licensee for introduction and promotion, and not authorised to provide brokerage services or execute client trades.
VTMarkets Ltd, Cyprus (company number HE436466): it facilitates services, including payment services, for other group companies and, according to the broker, offers no regulated financial products or trading services.
The profile also lists an Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) licence number, 516246. That number does not appear in the regulatory information on VT Markets' global website, which names no Australian company, and the broker's help centre lists Australia among the countries whose residents it does not serve.
Is VT Markets Regulated?
VT Markets states that it is regulated, chiefly through the FSC Mauritius licence of VT Markets Limited, the company that is the counterparty to client trades. As the broker describes them, its South African and UAE authorisations cover intermediary and promotional services, not the execution of client trades.
Is VT Markets Safe?
How safe VT Markets is for a client depends chiefly on VT Markets Limited, the Mauritius company that takes the other side of client trades under the FSC licence the broker cites; the South African company acts only as an intermediary and the Dubai Branch only introduces and promotes. VT Markets' help centre says client funds are held in segregated accounts with banks, separate from the company's own money, and no investor compensation scheme covering VT Markets Limited's clients has been confirmed. Its client agreement (December 2025 version) leaves the timing, amount and method of any withdrawal to VT's discretion and lets VT add fees by notice, and the broker's own pages disagree with each other on several figures, from spreads and leverage to wire withdrawal fees.
VT Markets Account Types
Standard STP: 100 USD minimum deposit, no commission and leverage up to 500:1, on MT4 and MT5.
Raw ECN: 100 USD minimum deposit, raw spreads plus a commission and leverage up to 500:1, on MT4 and MT5.
Pro ECN: an MT5-only upgrade from Raw ECN for clients in select markets who meet activity or balance criteria, for example 500,000 USD of notional volume and at least five closed trades within a 30-day period, or a balance above 10,000 USD with one closed trade. Only some client categories qualify, introducing brokers and their clients do not, and the account reverts to Raw ECN if the criteria lapse.
Swap Free: STP or RAW ECN execution from 100 USD, with an administration fee instead of swaps.
CENT Account STP and CENT Account ECN: MT5 accounts in US cents (USC) for forex, gold, silver and oil. The specification table sets the minimum at 50 USD (5,000 USC), while the same page says trading can start with 10 USD.
VT Markets Spreads, Commissions and Fees
Standard STP spreads start from 1.2 pips on the account's specification table, while the FAQ on the same page says from 1.4 pips; there is no commission. Raw ECN spreads start from 0.0 pips with a commission of 6 USD per standard lot round turn. Pro ECN charges 2 to 4 per lot round turn on forex and gold, depending on the base currency (3 for USD and EUR accounts, 2 for GBP and 4 for CAD), and no commission on silver and oil. The Cent accounts quote from 1.1 pips with no commission (STP) or from 0.0 pips with 6 USD round turn (ECN).
The Swap Free account charges an administration fee instead of swaps, and the amount is not published. VT Markets' client agreement says swap-free positions carry no swap for the first seven days and that swap may apply from the eighth day.
VT Markets Leverage
The account pages give leverage of up to 500:1 on Standard STP, Raw ECN and Swap Free, which the help centre also describes as the default. The help centre adds that leverage can reach 2000:1 in eligible countries, with forex and gold up to 1000:1, oil and indices up to 500:1, silver fixed at 100:1, energy and soft commodities at 20:1 and US share CFDs at 20:1 or 33:1, while the account comparison page shows up to 1000:1 for both swap-free versions. No leverage is published for the Cent and Pro ECN accounts.
VT Markets Trading Platforms
MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 are offered for Windows, iOS and Android and in the browser through VT's WebTrader, and the MT4 page also lists Mac. VT's own VT Markets App for iOS and Android includes copy trading, and Web Trading, opened from the Client Portal, is its browser platform with built-in TradingView charts. The website also names TradingView among its platforms, and that charting is the TradingView feature its pages describe. VTrade is a separate copy-trading portal that uses MT4 and MT5 login details, and the Pro ECN and Cent accounts run on MT5 only.
VT Markets Deposits and Withdrawals
VT Markets accepts Visa and Mastercard cards, Skrill, Neteller, cryptocurrency, VT-Wallet (its own wallet for BTC, ETH, USDT and USDC), local bank transfer and international bank wire, plus UnionPay for clients resident in China; the methods offered depend on the client's country. Card, e-wallet and crypto deposits usually arrive within 60 minutes, local transfers within one business day and wires in 3 to 7 working days. The general minimums are 50 to deposit and 40 to withdraw in the account currency, as low as 10 USD in some regions, and card deposits are capped at 25,000 EUR per transaction and 30,000 EUR a month.
VT Markets says it charges no deposit handling fee. Its help centre makes the first international wire withdrawal each month free and charges 20 USD for each further one that month, and lists 1% on Skrill and 2% on Neteller withdrawals, which it attributes to the providers; its withdrawal policy, however, says VT charges no fee for bank wire withdrawals and gives them 3 to 5 business days. The policy also reserves merchant fees and a handling fee when deposits are withdrawn with little or no trading.
Withdrawals are generally processed within one business day and take 1 to 7 business days to arrive, depending on the method. Funds go back to their original source first, card refunds are capped at what each card deposited, profits are preferably paid by bank wire, and every payment must come from an account in the client's own name.
VT Markets Support
VT Markets says its support is available 24/7 by live chat on its website and Client Portal and by email at info@vtmarkets.com, and its client agreement names trading@vtmarkets.com as the address for complaints. The global site publishes no support phone number. The covers account opening, verification, funding and VT-Wallet, and the website itself is available in 15 languages.
VT Markets Pros and Cons
Pros
A wide platform choice: MT4, MT5, the VT Markets App, Web Trading and two copy-trading services.
Standard STP and Raw ECN accounts from 100 USD, cent accounts for small balances, and raw spreads from 0.0 pips with a 6 USD round-turn commission.
Many funding routes, including local bank transfer, cards, e-wallets, crypto and VT-Wallet, with no deposit handling fee stated.
Support stated as available 24/7 by live chat and email, and client funds stated to be held in segregated accounts.
Cons
Client trades are with a company the broker says is licensed in Mauritius; the South African and UAE entities only act as intermediary or promoter.
The broker's pages disagree on several figures, including Standard STP spreads, swap-free leverage, the cent account minimum and wire withdrawal fees and times.
The swap-free administration fee is not published, and the client agreement limits swap-free treatment to the first seven days.
No support phone number, and the client agreement leaves withdrawals to VT's discretion.
Not available to residents of the United States, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, India, Russia and a number of other countries.
VT Markets Review and Assessment
VT Markets combines a wide choice of accounts, platforms and funding routes with a group structure in which global clients deal with VT Markets Limited under the FSC Mauritius licence the broker cites. Its pages are detailed but not always consistent with each other, so the key step before funding an account is to confirm in the Client Portal and the client agreement which leverage, spread, swap-free and fee terms apply to that account and country.

How we know — 12 sources
1Refused (the United States, Singapore, India, Hong Kong and Russia): the risk disclaimer in the footer of every English version of the site (for example https://www.vtmarkets.com/ and https://www.vtmarkets.com/en-eu/) says "VT Markets does not offer its services to residents of certain jurisdictions, including, but not limited to, the United States, Singapore, India, Hong Kong, Russia, and any jurisdictions listed by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) or subject to international sanctions." Several translated versions omit Hong Kong from the same sentence.
2Confirmed refusals (the United States, North Korea, Iran, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, the US Virgin Islands, Taiwan, Cyprus and Cuba): the Help Centre article "Does VT Markets accept clients from all countries?" (https://get.vtmarkets.help/hc/en-us/articles/37317976020377-Does-VT-Markets-accept-clients-from-all-countries, updated 16 September 2026) answers "No. VT Markets does not provide services to residents of certain jurisdictions due to applicable legal, regulatory, sanctions, and compliance requirements. Such as the United States, North Korea, Iran, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Northern Mariana Islands, Virgin Islands US, Taiwan, Cyprus, and Cuba."
3Iran (IR) is confirmed by that Help Centre article, which names Iran, and by Annexure 13 of the VT Markets Limited AML & Compliance Manual (https://www.vtmarkets.com/files/VT_Mauritius_AML_CFT_Manual.pdf), which lists Iran among the "countries that are considered banned in which the Company is unavailable".
4Singapore and Hong Kong are also refused in the site's own visitor notices on https://www.vtmarkets.com/: Singapore visitors are told "VT Markets does not provide or promote its products or services to citizens or residents of Singapore, and account requests from such persons will not be accepted", and Hong Kong visitors that VT Markets and its affiliated entities "do not operate in Hong Kong" and that the site is "not intended for any natural or legal person or other entities having its place of residence, usual abode or corporate seat in Hong Kong".
5Likely, not confirmed (Afghanistan, Albania, Belarus, Bermuda, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Burundi, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Iraq, Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, Mali, Myanmar, Nicaragua, Romania, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, Ukraine, Venezuela, Yemen and Zimbabwe): Annexure 13 "List of Banned Countries" of the VT Markets Limited (Mauritius) AML & Compliance Manual (https://www.vtmarkets.com/files/VT_Mauritius_AML_CFT_Manual.pdf, page 49; the manual carries a 2020 copyright line) lists these as "countries that are considered banned in which the Company is unavailable". No current brand-wide page names them, and the Help Centre says availability depends on "the VT Markets entity through which you are eligible to register", so a block across the whole brand is inferred rather than read.
6China (CN) and Canada (CA) are also on that annex but are written to no list, because the broker's current pages point the other way: the site runs Chinese-language versions (https://www.vtmarkets.com/cn/ and https://www.vtmarkets.com/cn-asia/) and a Help Centre article describes a payment tab "exclusively designated and utilized by clients residing in China" (https://get.vtmarkets.help/hc/en-us/articles/37345660486425-Why-does-the-add-payment-details-option-only-show-UnionPay), and it runs Canadian versions (https://www.vtmarkets.com/en-ca/ and https://www.vtmarkets.com/fr-ca/) where Canadian visitors get an own-initiative access notice, not a refusal. The registration page's country list, which would settle both, was not captured in this review.
7Dependent territories: Christmas Island, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands and Norfolk Island are Australian external territories. They fall under the confirmed refusal of Australia, although they are not named themselves. The inhabited United States territories are named on the broker's own pages and sit in the confirmed list.
8Not expanded: the footer's "any jurisdictions listed by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) or subject to international sanctions" is a category. Only the countries the broker's own pages name are recorded.
9No code for Germany, the United Kingdom or Canada from the visitor notices: they say VT Markets has no establishment or operations there and that the site is used on the visitor's own initiative, which is not a refusal. India's visitor notice reads the same way, but India is refused under the footer disclaimer.
10Cyprus (CY): besides the Help Centre article, the VT Markets Limited Client Agreement (https://www.vtmarkets.com/files/VT_Mauritius_Client_Agreement.pdf, version December 2025) tells citizens or residents of Cyprus to register through the country-specific website of the group's regulated entity for their jurisdiction rather than with VT Markets Limited.
11No country is shown as accepted: none of the broker's published pages lists accepted countries. The Help Centre article "How do I register on VT Markets" (https://get.vtmarkets.help/hc/en-us/articles/37317521177113-How-do-I-register-on-VT-Markets) says "Please refer to the list of Countries of Residence available for registration on the registration page", and that list was not captured in this review.
12Locations checked in this review: the Legal Hub documents including the client agreement (no country list), dedicated country pages (none published), the Help Centre (country list found), the registration page (not captured), the AML & Compliance Manual (banned-country annex found), the Help Centre deposit articles and the IB programme page (no country list), and the footer disclaimer and visitor notices on all 25 regional versions of the site (country list found).

Processing
Visa / MastercardCredit CardCredit or debit card (help centre: How do I deposit funds with a credit or debit card?, https://get.vtmarkets.help/hc/en-us/articles/37317981545881). Visa or Mastercard in the client's own name; American Express is not supported, and virtual, prepaid, commercial and company cards are not accepted. Card deposit limits: 50-25,000 EUR (or equivalent) per transaction, up to 30,000 EUR (or equivalent) per month; a first deposit with a card without 3D verification is processed manually. Times: card deposits within 60 minutes or less (How long does it take for a deposit to arrive?; 'typically instant processing' in What deposit methods does VT Markets offer?); card withdrawals 3-7 working days (How long does a withdrawal take to arrive?); the row stores the longest stated time, the withdrawal. Withdrawals are refunds to the same card, capped at the amount that card deposited, each card with its own quota; profits leave by other methods (bank wire, cryptocurrency or e-wallet) once the card quotas are cleared (Can I use multiple credit or debit cards to deposit, and how do credit/debit withdrawals work?; How do I withdraw via Credit/Debit card?). A same-day card deposit and withdrawal may be voided by the bank instead of settled. Fees: no card fee is stated; the withdrawal-fee article says VT collects no handling fees other than the repeat wire fee, but the Deposit and withdrawal policy reserves merchant fees plus a discretionary handling fee on withdrawals made with no or minimal trading, so both fee fields are left empty rather than 0. The 40 USD minimum withdrawal is the general help-centre minimum, not a card-specific figure; there is no single maximum withdrawal because each card's cap is its own deposits. GENERAL TERMS: funding must come from a source in the client's own name (third-party deposits and withdrawals are prohibited); the Deposit and withdrawal policy (https://www.vtmarkets.com/deposit-withdrawal-policy/) applies a return-to-source rule, with profits or any balance above the initial deposits preferably refunded by bank wire, and says withdrawals are generally processed within 1 business day and take 1-7 business days to arrive depending on the method; weekend requests are processed on the next business day (help centre: Can I submit a withdrawal request on weekends?). General minimums (help centre: What are the minimum deposit and withdrawal amounts for live trading accounts?): 50 to deposit and 40 to withdraw in the account's base currency (USD 50/40, GBP 50/30, HKD 400/300, JPY 5,000/6,000, USC 5,000/4,000), as low as 10 USD in some regions and methods; live limits are shown in the Client Portal. Client Agreement (VT Markets Limited, Version December 2025): 2.5(b) names only online bank transfer, same-day bank transfer and international telegraphic transfer as payment methods; 2.5(c) lets VT remove or restrict methods; 2.5(e) lets VT add fees by notice; 2.6(e) puts the timing, amount and method of every withdrawal at VT's discretion; 5.4(b) allows payment-processing and administration charges.

Withdrawal fee: 'Skrill: Incurs a 1% processing fee' (help centre: Is there a withdrawal handling fee?, https://get.vtmarkets.help/hc/en-us/articles/37317569475353); the same article says the bank institutions and payment providers charge the fees it lists, not VT Markets. E-wallet withdrawals are available when the client deposited by e-wallet or is withdrawing trading profits; the policy's return-to-source rule sends Skrill deposits and their profits back to Skrill. Deposit fee left empty: VT says it charges no deposit handling fees and covers merchant fees on e-wallet deposits, but reserves merchant fees plus a discretionary handling fee when deposited funds are withdrawn with no or minimal trading. 50/40 USD are the general help-centre minimums, not Skrill-specific figures. GENERAL TERMS: funding must come from a source in the client's own name (third-party deposits and withdrawals are prohibited); the Deposit and withdrawal policy (https://www.vtmarkets.com/deposit-withdrawal-policy/) applies a return-to-source rule, with profits or any balance above the initial deposits preferably refunded by bank wire, and says withdrawals are generally processed within 1 business day and take 1-7 business days to arrive depending on the method; weekend requests are processed on the next business day.

Deposit fee left empty: VT says it charges no deposit handling fees and covers merchant fees on e-wallet deposits, but reserves merchant fees plus a discretionary handling fee when deposited funds are withdrawn with no or minimal trading. 50/40 USD are the general help-centre minimums, not Neteller-specific figures. GENERAL TERMS: funding must come from a source in the client's own name (third-party deposits and withdrawals are prohibited); the Deposit and withdrawal policy (https://www.vtmarkets.com/deposit-withdrawal-policy/) applies a return-to-source rule, with profits or any balance above the initial deposits preferably refunded by bank wire, and says withdrawals are generally processed within 1 business day and take 1-7 business days to arrive depending on the method; weekend requests are processed on the next business day. General minimums (help centre: What are the minimum deposit and withdrawal amounts for live trading accounts?): 50 to deposit and 40 to withdraw in the account's base currency (USD 50/40, GBP 50/30, HKD 400/300, JPY 5,000/6,000, USC 5,000/4,000), as low as 10 USD in some regions and methods. Client Agreement (Version December 2025): 2.5(b) names only bank transfer methods; 2.5(c) lets VT remove or restrict methods; 2.5(e) lets VT add fees by notice; 2.6(e) puts every withdrawal's timing, amount and method at VT's discretion; 5.4(b) allows payment-processing charges.

Deposits within 60 minutes or less (How long does it take for a deposit to arrive?); withdrawals 1-3 working days, subject to the network (How long does a withdrawal take to arrive?); the row stores the longest stated time. Crypto withdrawals are available only if the original deposit was cryptocurrency or once funds from other deposit methods have been fully withdrawn (How do I withdraw via Cryptocurrency?). No fee is published for this route, so both fee fields are empty. 50/40 USD are the general help-centre minimums, not crypto-specific figures. The coin list for this route is not published; VT-Wallet (its own row) lists BTC, ETH, USDT and USDC. GENERAL TERMS: funding must come from a source in the client's own name (third-party deposits and withdrawals are prohibited); the Deposit and withdrawal policy (https://www.vtmarkets.com/deposit-withdrawal-policy/) applies a return-to-source rule, with profits or any balance above the initial deposits preferably refunded by bank wire, and says withdrawals are generally processed within 1 business day and take 1-7 business days to arrive depending on the method.

VT-WalletCryptocurrencyVT-Wallet (help centre VT-Wallet category, https://get.vtmarkets.help/hc/en-us/categories/54837681739417-VT-Wallet): a centralised, VT-branded crypto wallet for on-chain deposits and withdrawals, crypto conversion, and free, instant internal transfers to and from the client's own MT4/MT5 accounts (What is VT-Wallet?; How do I transfer funds between VT-Wallet and my trading account?; What are the transfer restriction for VT-Wallet?). Requires an active live MT4 or MT5 account and is not available in every region (What are the requirements for using VT-Wallet?). Coins and networks (Which blockchains and Networks does VT-Wallet support?): BTC on Bitcoin; ETH on ERC20, BEP20 and Base; USDT on ERC20, TRC20, BEP20 and Solana; USDC on ERC20, BEP20, Solana and Base. Times: deposits typically arrive in 10-20 minutes (How long does it take for a deposit to arrive in VT-Wallet?); withdrawals typically arrive in 20-30 minutes once approved (How long does it take for a withdrawal to arrive via VT-Wallet?); stored as up to 1 hour. Fees: no VT platform fee on deposits, but the client pays the blockchain gas (miner) fee, and extra handling fees may apply if a refund is needed for wrong coin or network details (Are there any fees for depositing into VT-Wallet?); 'Currently, there are no fees for withdrawing from VT-Wallet', gas and platform fees included (Are there any fees for withdrawing from VT-Wallet?); internal transfers are free. Both fee fields are left empty because the deposit carries a network fee and the Client Agreement (2.5(e), 5.4(b)) lets VT add fees. Limits (Are there any deposit limits in VT-Wallet?; Are there withdrawal limits for VT-Wallet?): USDT and USDC minimum deposit 50, minimum withdrawal 30, daily maximum withdrawal 50,000; BTC 0.0005 / 0.0015 / 0.5; ETH 0.0025 / 0.02 / 15; no daily deposit cap; more than 10 withdrawals in a day may be rejected until the next day. The amount fields are empty because these limits are in coin units, not a 3-letter currency; they are kept in additionalInfo. Third-party transfers are prohibited.

Local Bank TransferBank TransferLocal bank transfer (help centre: How do I deposit funds via Local Bank Transfer?, https://get.vtmarkets.help/hc/en-us/articles/58348077168409): instant or same-day local banking networks tailored to the client's country (What deposit methods does VT Markets offer?). Deposits within 1 business day or less (How long does it take for a deposit to arrive?); withdrawals 1-3 working days (How long does a withdrawal take to arrive?); the row stores the longest stated time. Minimum deposit: 10-50 USD (or equivalent) depending on country and account currency, per the deposit how-to page. BROKER CONFLICT: the older article What is the minimum deposit amount for local bank transfers? (https://get.vtmarkets.help/hc/en-us/articles/37317745623193) says 5-50 USD; the field holds 10, the lower bound on the newer how-to page, which the general limits article's 'as low as 10 USD' also supports. Withdrawal by local bank transfer is only possible when the original deposit was a local bank transfer and an eligible quota exists (How do I withdraw via Local Bank Transfer?). A local-currency exchange rate applies (What is the exchange rate for deposits if I use a local currency bank account?). No local transfer fee is published; both fee fields are empty; banks may charge their own fees. 40 USD is the general help-centre minimum withdrawal.

International Bank TransferWire TransferInternational bank wire (SWIFT) (help centre: How do I deposit via International Bank Transfer?; How do I withdraw via International Bank Transfer?). Advanced verification (proof of identity and proof of address) is required before the method unlocks; the bank account must be in the client's name, and a withdrawal needs a bank statement from the last three months. Times: deposits 3-7 working days (How long does it take for an international bank/wire transfer to arrive?); withdrawals 3-7 working days (How long does a withdrawal take to arrive?). BROKER CONFLICT: the Deposit and withdrawal policy (https://www.vtmarkets.com/deposit-withdrawal-policy/) says 'Withdrawal via bank wire requires 3-5 business days to complete'; the row stores the longer 7. Withdrawal fee (help centre: Is there a withdrawal handling fee?, https://get.vtmarkets.help/hc/en-us/articles/37317569475353): the first wire withdrawal each month is free; each further wire withdrawal in the same month carries a fixed fee equivalent to 20 USD per request. The article says VT collects no handling fees except this subsequent wire fee, yet ends by saying the banks and payment providers charge all the fees it lists. BROKER CONFLICT: the Deposit and withdrawal policy says of bank wire withdrawals 'While we do not charge any fees for this service, you may still be required to pay other charges imposed by the banks or intermediaries involved'. The stored fee is the 20 USD the client pays from the second wire withdrawal in a month. Intermediary and receiving banks may deduct their own charges. Deposit fee left empty: VT says it charges no deposit handling fees, but overseas intermediary fees and exchange differences may apply, and the Client Agreement (2.5(e), 5.4(b)) lets VT add fees. The policy names bank wire as the preferred route for profits and for refunds that cannot go back to source. 50/40 USD are the general help-centre minimums. Client Agreement (Version December 2025): 2.5(b) lists international telegraphic transfer among its three payment methods; 2.6(g) pays international payments on the next day when funds arrive after the cut-off time.

The site footer shows a UnionPay logo among its payment methods. No UnionPay processing time, fee or limit is published, so those fields are empty; local bank transfer terms may apply but are not stated for UnionPay.

VT Markets says its support is available 24/7 by live chat, through the Customer Support icon on its website and Client Portal, and by email at info@vtmarkets.com. Its client agreement names trading@vtmarkets.com as the official address for complaints. The global site publishes no support phone number, and answers to common questions are in the .
Yes. The Swap Free account runs with STP or RAW ECN execution from a 100 USD minimum deposit and charges an administration fee instead of swaps, but the amount of that fee is not published. VT Markets' client agreement (December 2025 version) says swap-free positions carry no swap for the first seven days and that swap may apply from the eighth day. The Cent accounts are also listed as swap free.
VT Markets says it charges no handling fee on deposits. Its help centre says the first international wire withdrawal each month is free and each further one that month costs 20 USD, and lists 1% on Skrill and 2% on Neteller withdrawals, which it attributes to the payment providers, while its withdrawal policy says VT charges no fee for wire withdrawals. The policy also lets VT charge merchant fees and a handling fee when deposits are withdrawn with little or no trading, and banks may deduct their own charges.
VT Markets' withdrawal policy says requests are generally processed within one business day and take 1 to 7 business days to arrive, depending on the method. Its help centre gives 3 to 7 working days for cards and international wires, 1 to 3 working days for e-wallets, crypto and local bank transfers, and 20 to 30 minutes for VT-Wallet once approved, although the policy gives bank wires 3 to 5 business days. Requests made at the weekend are processed on the next business day.
Standard STP has no commission and spreads from 1.2 pips on its specification table, although the FAQ on the same page says from 1.4 pips. Raw ECN starts from 0.0 pips with a commission of 6 USD per standard lot round turn, and the Cent accounts quote from 1.1 pips without commission (STP) or from 0.0 pips with 6 USD round turn (ECN). Pro ECN charges 2 to 4 per lot round turn on forex and gold depending on the base currency (3 for USD and EUR, 2 for GBP, 4 for CAD) and nothing on silver and oil.
VT Markets offers Standard STP (no commission), Raw ECN (spreads from 0.0 pips plus commission), Swap Free (STP or RAW ECN execution with an administration fee instead of swaps) and two cent accounts on MT5, CENT Account STP and CENT Account ECN.

The minimum deposit is 100 USD on the Standard STP, Raw ECN and Swap Free accounts. The Cent accounts list 50 USD (5,000 USC) in their specification table, while the same page says trading can start with 10 USD. Pro ECN is an upgrade from Raw ECN rather than a direct sign-up, and the help centre's general funding minimum is 50 in the account currency, as low as 10 USD in some regions and methods.

Which services a client can use also depends on the VT Markets company they are eligible to register with.
VT Markets' account pages list leverage of up to 500:1 on Standard STP, Raw ECN and Swap Free, which its help centre also gives as the default. The help centre says leverage can reach 2000:1 in eligible countries, with forex and gold up to 1000:1, oil and indices up to 500:1, silver fixed at 100:1, energy and soft commodities at 20:1 and US share CFDs at 20:1 or 33:1. The account comparison page also shows up to 1000:1 for both swap-free versions, and no leverage is published for the Cent and Pro ECN accounts.
Yes. VT Markets' help centre describes three verification levels in the Client Portal: completing personal details unlocks deposits, identity verification (proof of identity) unlocks trading, and proof of address unlocks withdrawals. International bank wire also requires advanced verification, and withdrawals go back to the original funding source first, with card refunds capped at what each card deposited.
VT Markets accepts Visa and Mastercard cards, Skrill, Neteller, cryptocurrency, its own VT-Wallet (BTC, ETH, USDT and USDC), local bank transfer and international bank wire, plus UnionPay for clients resident in China. Card, e-wallet and crypto deposits usually arrive within 60 minutes, local transfers within one business day and wires in 3 to 7 working days. The methods offered depend on the client's country, and every payment must come from an account in the client's own name.
VT Markets offers MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, its own VT Markets App for iOS and Android, and Web Trading, a browser platform with built-in TradingView charts that opens from the Client Portal. MT4 and MT5 run on Windows, iOS, Android and in the browser through VT's WebTrader, and the MT4 page also lists Mac. Copy trading is available in the app and through the separate VTrade portal, and the Pro ECN and Cent accounts run on MT5 only.
VT Markets states that it is regulated. Its global clients deal with VT Markets Limited, which the broker says is licensed by the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius as a Full-Service Investment Dealer (excluding Underwriting) under licence GB23202269; VT Markets (Pty) Ltd in South Africa (FSCA FSP No. 50865) acts only as an intermediary, and the Dubai Branch holds a UAE Capital Markets Authority Category 5 licence (No. 20200000299) for introduction and promotion only. The ASIC number 516246 that WIKILIX lists does not appear in the regulatory information on VT Markets' global website. On client money, VT Markets' help centre says funds are kept in segregated accounts with banks, separate from the company's own funds.
